The tree is decked out in white tinsel and silver baubles.
But the early festive decor shocked customers as it is still six weeks until Christmas.
Driver Dylan John, 48, who lives in the Lancashire town, said: “It’s way too early for Christmas decorations.
“I’ve still got pumpkins outside my front door.
“And the fireworks for Bonfire Night was only last week.

“I felt like I had stepped into Santa’s Grotto. There were trees, tinsel and little snowmen hanging from the ceiling.”
He also told What’s The Jam: “It was bonkers.
“I was told they had put them up on November 1 straight after taking down the Halloween decorations.”

“I get it that people love Christmas. Shops are selling cards, Christmas puddings, mulled wine and everything you need.
“But a Christmas tree this early seems a bit over the top.
“But people have just spent their hard earned cash on Halloween and Bonfire Night.
“Can shops just let us have a break for a few weeks before hitting our wallets again. It’s all spend, spend, spend.”
Londis has been approached for comment.
